I would put my money on HP for registration over the Nexpress, but get tolerances from the manufactures. Front to back will depend some on paper sheeting accuracy, Indigo uses tumble for back side so if paper varies your back side will vary, have to think Nexpress also tumbles instead of using...

more money... more money... I was head scratching over the same decision, seems like almost everyone goes with 5500, but the cost is a huge jump and the best I can figure is all you get is: 1. faster b/w printing (the 3500 still is crazy fast for 1/1) 2. extra feeder drawer (I think feeder is...

rewind it... rewind it... agree, if it has any size to it, pull it and take to any good motor place, they will get it running again, no problem..

2 passes gets old in a hurry, people will say SM will lay down a better solid, true, but you will be dealing with color issues, drying, and registration problems on EVERY 2 pass job, I suspect for 90% of your work 3304 will be quicker and less headaches...

Every year in the fall and winter when humidity starts to drop we will have problems with Screen 4300. Problem is (almost certainly) static that builds up and punch plate does not drop onto pins on the drum correctly... mechanical errors, crooked imaged plates, etc. Have tried static spray...

4 panel roll fold 4 panel roll fold yes you can do a 4 panel roll fold on any 4 buckle folder, the horizon just does not have a pre-programmed icon for it, 3 panels into first plate then down, down...

Best folder ever...for the right mix of work Best folder ever...for the right mix of work Have had a 544 for 4 years, we do a lot of make readies and some really small run digital jobs, so it is a perfect fit. Have not had any problems with servo motors, they are all stepper motors and even if...

OK Ink Man, this is a bit off subject, but I have a big 4CP job plus 2 PMS, running on 5 color press, everything is in registration, I have run lesser coverage pms by itself then come back with process and other PMS, registration is OK not great because 2 PMS touch in logo so any bounce is real...

never uses silver but a small amount of opaque white will also help, and it was already mentioned, but if it has a lot of trans white you have to run in last unit, if you run first unit and then 4CP it will look like CRAP...

same size... same size... the form would not have to be the same size or geared, but you would want it to be so you don't have to deal with gaps, even a great anilox setup is not going to provide perfect density, especially if you have a large screen or solid and a small roller that repeats a...

simulated overprint? simulated overprint? How do you "force" simulated overprint preview? Try to tell customers to view with overprint, but this has kicked our ass many times... "it looked right on my PDF..."???

Is this some kind of inside joke or a real discussion? Is this some kind of inside joke or a real discussion? So the test is supposed to demonstrate that with ductor off, plenty of ink on rollers, and a small target that prints on the sheet with proper density, can NOT be washed out by...

I don't get it... I don't get it... I don't understand, what would the real world inking system look like a huge train of roller to mill out and oscillate out ink from a central point that would meter ink in a way of keeping a constant ink film on the rollers? If this the idea, it already...

I feel bad for the environmentalists, they cannot even get wind power right, because it kills birds and is an eyesore...

davey board? davey board? you can get 70pt davey board through Unisource, that is a fairly common board for doing thing like turned edge binders, book covers, etc....

Anilox is used to create a even "screen" of ink, again, don't think in terms of ductors and ink-keys, because you cannot set any zones or keys, which is a blessing and a curse, the idea for pleasing color process work is no keys to set, roll up in 10-15 sheets and you are good to go, becomes...

Not only hard to change but EXPENSIVE... Not only hard to change but EXPENSIVE... On the Karat, don't think in terms of a traditional roller, the single diameter form is a blanket cylinder, every revolution it is fully charged with ink from a high line screen anilox, when you scratch one of...

mine is bigger than yours... mine is bigger than yours... Don't get me wrong, the Indigo costs are high, way high, too high, and it is not my intent to get in a "mine is bigger than yours" conversation, rather, more of an academic discussion as to WHY can't the big players come up with a...

Let me preface by saying I am more of a traditional press guy. But we put in an Indigo last year and I have had a couple phone sessions and only one boots on the ground service call. I read threads of people having upwards of 10-12 calls a month on 50-75k in impressions, how do you make money...

Using thermal processed plates (IBF), switched from Aurora, which has almost a ceramic surface and seemed way more slick (image area and non-image), that is why I think the delta's could more efficiently take debris off the plate, you could see trash come and couple sheets later go, but now...
